Re: expansion draft
There's not even a guarantee Lindblom is the most appealing player exposed. First of all, we are going to be active in free agency this year and/or next year.
If we do not add a free agent..
7-3-1
Giroux
Couturier
Patrick
Konecny
JVR
Voracek
Lindblom
Provorov
Sanheim
Ghost
Hart
In this scenario, Seattle's best and only option is Myers. If we add a UFA, then one of those bottom 3 forwards is exposed.
4-4-1
Giroux
Couturier
Patrick
Konecny
Provorov
Sanheim
Ghost
Myers
Hart
In the scenario, Seattle has Voracek, JVR, and Lindblom to choose from. With Frost, Farabee, Ratcliffe, and possibly 11th overall all NHL ready for sure by that point, we can handle the loss of a winger.
